 around $500,000. 



Theodore Vogel resumed his position 

 at W. J. Smyth's July 28, after a fort- 

 night 's rest. 



Roger F. Howe, brother of Capt. E. 



B. Howe, has joined the forces of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co. 



Al Barber and wife, of Cleveland, and 



C. J. Michelsen and wife started July 

 27, in Mr. Michelsen 's Packard, for a 

 trip among the WjeConsin lakes and 

 rivers. 



Joe Marks, widely known through his 

 travels for Henderson & Co., has been on 

 the sick list for several days. It is said 

 that one physician diagnosed his case as 

 gallstones, another as appendicitis, and 

 a third as ptomaine poisoning, but Mr. 

 Marks is getting better. 



C. L. Sherer, who has charge of the 

 shipping department of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers ' Association, is on vaca- 

 tion, but when the street car strike came 

 on he felt it necessary to come back to. 

 the store to see that everything was go- 

 ing along. 



The engagement is announced of Ed- 

 ward Hunt and Miss Mae Dombrowski. 

 The wedding will take place September 

 10. 



To the refreshing white front of 

 Schiller's store at 2221 West Madison 

 street is added the summer interest of a 

 pond in the window, containing striking 

 pink water lilies. The half-dozen or so 

 canaries in the store are more for deco- 

 rative than sales purposes. An occa- 

 sional sale is made upon the customer's 

 initiative, but the light demand and 

 great care required by the birds do not 

 warrant pushing that line. 



Herbert Hansen, of Peter Reinberg's, 

 leaves this week on a two weeks* vaca- 

 tion in Michigan. 



Bassett & Washburn cleaned out com- 

 pletely on chrysanthemum plants last 

 week. Shipping business continues 

 good with them.

TIME AND MONEY 



Over two years of time and THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS were 

 spent in experimenting to brintf about a change in our "Report/^ 

 of Sales" to a consignor -A SALES REPORT which would be 

 proof of prices for which a Grower's products are sold. 



To be satisfied on the OLD PLAN OF SALES ACCOUNT- 

 ING, just because of a feeling of satisfaction, does not mean 

 anything to a Grower and is the principal cause of "Much Shift- 

 ing" among the Growers. 



SATISFACTION with the OLD PLAN is only satisfaction - 

 NOT PROOF. 



OUR "SALES REPORT" is a REAL reason for a Grower to 

 be kept satisfied. 



EVERY COMMERCIAL CUT FLOWER GROWER can 

 appreciate the advantage of knowing what we do with the 

 shipments entrusted to us.

trains July 25, on his way to Madison, 

 Wis., to attend the funeral of his 

 brother. He dropped word that he 

 would be in Detroit for the convention. 

 Wilbur J. Gullett, of Gullett & Sons, 

 Lincoln, 111., spent July 26 in this mar- 

 ket. He was on the last lap of a swing 

 around a circle that took in points of 

 trade interest as f^r east as Long Is- 



land. His purpose was to extend his 

 acquaintance with the prospects for 

 next season. His idea is that stock on 

 the whole will be little if any more 

 plentiful than last season and that a 

 first-class business is assured when the 

 new season opens up.
